Adam McCalvy, of MLB.com, reports the New York Yankees are looking at possibly replacing OF Melky Cabrera (hamstring) on the World Series roster. The team could activate either IF Ramiro Pena or OF Freddy Guzman. Cabrera would not be eligible to return during the World Series if he is taken off of the roster.

Marc Topkin, of the St. Petersburg Times, reports New York Yankees OF Eric Hinske was left off the team's ALCS roster and was replaced by OF Freddy Guzman. "We thought we could use another speed guy in this round," manager Joe Girardi said. "We've had some success doing those type of things late in games. And in a seven-game series, felt that it could come up late in games. As we saw the games against Minnesota were very close. And sometimes you can use a couple of pinch runners. And if Gardy gets a start, then you don't have a pinch runner. It just frees us up to do more things."
